Meggers

There where two main voice actors for
The Dark Brotherhood Resurrection: Part 1 . I myself did all the male
voices, but my good friend and professional voice actress Meg
McDonald (Lovingly refereed to as 'Meggers') did all the female
voices, including the character Averna.

I struggled to give her good notes and
direction with Averna, as her motives where always subtle and I
didn't always take into consideration that Meg has never played an
Elder Scrolls game. She did pretty good with the psychopathic,
sadistic character, and her performance as a dying woman was
fantastic. The part she had the most fun with, and the character I
enjoy killing the most, is Susan Gold-Love

The only direction I gave her for this
character was: “You are playing a drunk, rich teenager. The
medieval version of a spoiled daddy's girl. I want this character to
be as annoying as possible, I want the player to enjoy
killing her”

The performance she gave me was so
stellar, I spent far too much time making sure the player could hear
Susan's dialogue before even getting the quest to kill her.
